Personal ID and security code.

Should caller be routed to another System ID for help after

misdialing repeatedly?

Identify how the system handles a caller who exceeds the number of
invalid entries allowed. At most sites, the system is set to hang up on
callers who misdial the number of times speci fied. However, the system
can also route callers to another System ID for additional help. For
example, you could route the se callers to the operator, who can h elp
determine the correct Extension # ID or Bo x ID.

unnecessary messages?

system requires before asking subsc ribers to delete unnecessary
messages. To help prevent the system from running out of storage space,
the system asks subscribers to delete unnecessary messages wh en
space is getting low. Most systems set the minimum to 15 minutes. You
should not decrease this amoun t. However, you may increase it for lar ger
systems with many subscribers or port s .
